Free Walking Tour Cartagena Beyond Colombia

One of the stops on our Panama Princess cruise was in Columbia. Lots to see and do here and lots of options for excursions, the weather wasn't too hot yet so we opted for the guided walking tour around the town. They showed us the old town with the monuments and statues, beautiful squares and shops, talked about the history. A little bit touristy but enjoyable. Lots of local wares of crafts and food carts to choose from, a few beggars in all the traffic areas too. Beautiful churches that older than any in the US and the architecture and designs and embellishments are breathtaking. One of them is said to have wood carvings that are hundreds of years old, preserved forever. If you are Catholic, you should definitely put this tour on your list. Near the end of the day we stopped at the bird sanctuary and we were pleased. We thought it would be just a quick and simple walk through but it's very enjoyable and engaging. Peacocks around and tame, lots of big Macaws that you can feed and pose with. Many other exotic birds as well as you can see from the pics. Even some monkeys were there to put on a show.

Nice your with Fernando and Sebastian to get to know better the centre of this amazing town. I’ve been travelling Colombia for the last weeks, from Bogota to Salento and Medellin. Cartagena definitely gets my heart as the most beautiful city. Humidity is terrible tough, don’t forget your water.

Amazing experience and educational! The dancers were my favorite part. I could have watched them for hours. I would highly recommend this tour for everyone who visits Columbia. Our tour guides Ricardo and Alberto were great!

Luis Fernando was so great and shared so much detailed history on Cartagena and what makes his city special. Kept us in the shade, gave great tips for places to see and things try. Would recommend to anyone, great way to learn about the walled city.

We had an amazing time with Fernando & Sebastian doing the historic center tour! So many interesting facts and stories about the city & the history of it. He showed so many lovely spots to us. It was the perfect start in Cartagena to give us orientation and background knowledge. Even all the questions from the group were answered in detail. We would recommend it to anyone coming here. Besides: great English and super friendly people! Thanks Fernando to make this day so worthwhile ❤️ all the best to you and the team of beyond Colombia!

Luis Carlos was a super engaging tour guide! Very knowledgeable and amazing for a free tour. Would absolutely recommend!

Our guide was Fernando. He possesses an extensive knowledge of Colombian history and explains it with great enthusiasm and pride. Through the tour, learned many eye opening facts about the local culture, social life and contributions to world geopolitics. He did this all with a smile and many little tips to make our visit much more fulfilling. His assistant Hugo was also very approachable and had much information to share. All around, I could not recommend this tour more strongly.

As first time visitors to Colombia, my wife and I decided to begin our vacation with this tour led by Fernando. Fernando was engaging, humorous, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a deeper understanding of the history and culture of Cartegena.
